Seven individuals applied for the opening, all of whom had some level of <br />education training in the inspections field. Interviews were held with four individuals <br />having additional practical and trade experience. Of the four individuals interviewed by <br />myself and Building Official Osmonson, one person stood out as being the most <br />qualified for the position, that being Charles Preisler. <br /> <br />Mr. Preisler has 25 years of experience in the construction industry and is currently <br />enrolled at both Inver Hills and North Hennepin schools in the building inspection (BIT) <br />program and is working toward a certification in the field. References have been <br />checked and results are very positive. <br /> <br />If his hire is approved, Mr. Preisler’s start date would be April 13, 2004 and his <br />employment would be classified as part time, temporary. Mr. Preisler’s employment <br />would last for no more than 26 weeks from the date of hire and would be limited to no <br />more than 40 hours per pay period. The offered rate of pay is $11.00 per hour. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Council approve Resolution 6226 authorizing the hire of Charles <br />Preisler to the position of intern within the Community Development Department. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jim Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br />
